SHAWANO, Wisconsin – ALIS DESIGN+ in 2025 will host NEWH, Inc.’s inaugural Structures of Hospitality Excellence honoring construction companies for their exceptional methods, processes, and team management on January 31 at the JW Marriott at LA Live in Los Angeles.

Nominations for the program are due November 22, 2024. All nominations should be completed online. Click here to enter.

Honorees will be selected based on their contributions to the creation of significant and outstanding hospitality renovations and new-build structures worldwide. To be eligible, one person within the nominated firm must be a current voting member in good standing with NEWH. Additionally, the firm must have completed a new-build or renovation hospitality project within the 18-month period prior to nomination including hotels, casinos, bars, restaurants, or spas.

Submissions will be judged based on the uniqueness and scope of the submitted project, the impact your company has had on the hospitality construction industry, outreach efforts through education or corporate giving, and the company’s involvement with NEWH. Additionally, submissions must include a minimum of three and a maximum of six photographs of the project alongside three reference letters.

The NEWH SOHE Award nominations can be submitted in several ways: any firm with a current NEWH member can nominate themselves, any NEWH member can nominate a construction firm, and chapter members are encouraged to support eligible firms in completing the nomination form or assist them throughout the process.

In conjunction with this award, NEWH will award two scholarships to students pursuing careers in construction, funded by Delta Faucet Company and ALIS DESIGN+. The first is a $10,000 scholarship to a four-year student majoring in architecture, construction management, civil or environmental engineering, or project management. The second, a $5,000 scholarship, will be awarded to a student pursuing a technical certificate or associate degree in any of the building trades from a junior college or trade show.

“We are thrilled to support NEWH in its launch of Structures of Hospitality Excellence award honoring construction companies and host the presentation of its inaugural award along with two scholarships at next years’ ALIS DESIGN+ event,” said Michelle Finn, vice president Design & Construction Products and Services for The BHN Group. “We are a proud contributor of the scholarship fund awarded to two students pursuing careers in the construction industry and applaud NEWH on its forward-thinking initiative.”
